Early V12 Vantage Manual prices

[morty1961]

Difficult one I know but have V12 Vantage Manual prices bottomed out and will they only increase in value with sensible mileage. Thinking of trading up from early V8 Vantage to a 2012 V12 Vantage?

yeah the one I have seen is 2012 18.5k miles £83k

Alexanders Prestige at Boroughbridge North Yorks also have one looks good ... anyone had any dealings with them?

I think there are two approaches to (potentially) look at a value investment when buying a V12V for around 80-90k. One is if you want to buy a car that you can use and you are probably not going to loose your shirt on it. This is the most likely outcome. If you enter into V12V ownership in the belief that it will quadruple in value over the next 10 years i think you should go elsehere with your money. From all the cars that were buildt in the 1950-60ties only vey few made the grade of being collectables 50 years later. DB4 and DB5, Mercedes SL and SL Roadster and a couple of Ferraris and now recently Porsches.

A DB4 cost the same in 1961 as a flat in London. I would rather have bought a flat.

Good post that mate .... I would definitely look at it under the 1st scenario where I could use the car for the 10 years or so and not do starship mileage so not lose anything (hopefully gain a bit?) in value apart from the cost of running the car, ie servicing/repairs etc!! I would not be going into this thinking I could make a fortune lol
